[Can hard disk with bad sectors still be used?]

i'm wondering can i start create volume and copying files into the hard disk while the server is checking for parity consistency?

[Can hard disk with bad sectors still be used?]

today, the hard disk with 4 bad sectors has failed and need to be replaced. luckily i haven't really started restoring the files into the server. I have removed the RAID group and redo the process without the failed disk.

You can let it finish. Then replace it. No matter the raid I never recommend keeping faulty HDDs.

i usually replace the hard disk when the server gave me error in red. anyway, thanks. I will replace it when I have the means.

thanks for your response. since RAID 5 is 1-disk fault tolerance, will it be too late if I continue to use it until the server advice me to replace it?

I just did a fresh install of DSM 6.1. While creating a RAID 5 group, there is an alert that it found 4 bad sectors in one of the hard disk. However, the status shows the system is healthy and the hard disk is normal. I am wondering is it still save to continue with the RAID 5 parity consistency check or should I cancel the whole thing and replace the hard disk and rebuild again?

Anybody used this board and bond those two nic cards Intel and Atheros on DSM 6.0? Wish they're both Intel Nics.

On the fence to pull the trigger.

Thanks.

 

You need a compatible network switch. I am using TP-Link TL-SG2216 and you can see how I did it at http://jarvis.pimpmyrig.com/how-to-enab ... 16-switch/

[Download Station keep disconnecting my Internet]

I have this weird problem.

 

Whenever I start my downloads in Download Station, the internet connection keeps dropping. I can see in my router, the internet has disconnected.

 

I have tried downloading using Transmission (installed via SynoCommunity) and it does not have similar problem.

 

I also tried using uTorrent in my other PC in the same network and it works as well.

 

I am using DSM 5.0-4528 Update 2 and Download Station version 3.5-2638

 

I am wondering does anyone faced the same problem?

[Failed to back up application [Maria DB(MySQL)]]

No, I haven't try it and I'm going to try now. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Failed to back up application [Maria DB(MySQL)]]

Hi,

 

I'm running DSM 5.0-4528 Update 1 and I'm having problem backing up my MariaDB databases via the "Backup & Replication" tool.

 

It always failed.

 

The log says "Local Backup task [] failed to export applications to [VOLUME]

 

Anyone experiences this as well?

hi haze,

 

you can refer to my guide at http://jarvis.pimpmyrig.com/

[NEW Update: DSM5.0-4528]

Congrats. I don't have such luck tho. The built in Wifi on my GIGABYTE GA-H97N-WIFI Motherboard is still not working. Keep asking me to insert a USB Wi-Fi adapter.

[SOLUTION: BIOS time reset after enable Sync with NTP server]

Hi,

 

Environment:

~ I am using GIGABYTE GA-H97N-WIFI Motherboard and running on DSM 5.0-4528 Update 1.

~ I am staying in a country with timezone GMT+8

~ I have enabled Sync with NTP server in DSM.

 

Objective:

I want my server to auto shutdown and startup at certain time everyday.

 

Problem:

Everytime I reboot my server, the clock in my BIOS will always reset to time equivalent to GMT+0. This will screw up the auto startup setting in my DSM.

 

Workaround:

Since I found no solution in this forum, I decided to achieve my objective with this workaround.

 

~ I remove the auto Startup setting in my DSM. It only has auto shutdown setting in my DSM.

~ I let the clock in my BIOS remain in GMT+0.

~ I enable "Resume by Alarm" setting in my BIOS and set the desired startup time 8 hours earlier than my local time.

 

It works flawlessly.

[Asterisk No FXO ports detected]

thanks jayal1972 for the head up. i will definitely look into this when I free.

[Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI (rev. 1.0)]

I'm also interested in this board. Anyone has any experience with it running Xpenology? It's between this one or the Asus H97I-PLUS.

I'm finding the dual ethernet appealing on the Gigabyte.

 

I'm using this board in my build and I still cannot find a way to make the build in Wifi to work.

[Fax manager for Synology DSM]

I have an old fax modem PCI card installed in my NAS. Since it is ON almost 24 hours everyday, I am thinking of using it to manage all incoming faxes. I don't need to send faxes. I just need to receive them.

 

I have googled for solution but I couldn't find any.

 

Has anyone tried this? Does it has the necessary driver? Is there any third party software that I can install in the DSM?

 

It will be amazing if the software can forward the faxes in PDF file via email.

[Asterisk No FXO ports detected]

Hi,

 

Right now I am running DSM 4.3-3827 Update 5 and I would like to consolidate my office IP-PBX system into the same NAS that is running this DSM.

 

However, when I go to Asterisk > Trunks, it says "No FXO ports detected !!". I understand that I need to add an analog telephony cards such as this one...

Before I purchase any of these, may I know has anyone successfully tried them or any products that allow the use PSTN lines in the Asterisk?
